Optimize Your Year-End Giving • October 2024 (Online Webinar)
The last three months of the year are crucial in funding ministry and mission. It’s about more than whether you will meet the budget, it’s about whether your church will have the strength and confidence to meet the challenges of ministry in the coming year!
In these days of economic uncertainty, an emphasis on the joy of generosity and a wider view of how ministry support may be found can both be key elements to help your congregation step into the future with confidence. Join us as Ken Sloane shares ideas and tips on how your church might end the year strong!
